A few weeks ago someone decided in a stupidly hateful moment to toss boxes and bags of literal trash on my doorstep. I know exactly why. Because they were hurt about something else but they couldn't take their frustrations out on that thing, so I became the target. Thanks for the info, Local Newspaper!
I chose not to respond in kind because:
1. Don't feed the trolls
2. Karma is a bigger bitch than I have the energy to, or could ever be
3. You're boring
Soanyway, amid the myriad garbage was this potted plant. It had a long spear of green leaf and a river stone. The pot was neglectedly cracked at the bottom...but...green leaf! It was a living thing, albeit barely. I couldn't disregard it along with the old shoes and broken plastic better meant for a dumpster where it would have been if some people had any conscience left.
I brought the plant inside. Set it up on a shelf in a window that gets morning sun. Gave it some water. I'm not great at plants but I'm pretty sure sun and water are a thing.
Anyway. It grew. By that I mean a whole other leaf sprouted. And that leaf is almost 7 inches tall now. It's a miracle. I didn't even coat it in chocolate to make it go down easier or anything.
I don't know what kind of plant this is. I haven't Googled. It's got a bulb at the base so I have a few guesses but I'm not totally sure.
I want to keep being surprised.
To clarify, Universe, I want to keep being surprised by good and inspiring things.
I do not want to be surprised by the eyerollingly banal ways some people suck.
thx
